Re: [Elecraft] How can I get more Programmable Macros? (feature request?)
Hi Wayne, Thanks for the 'CW REV' reminder. Since the K3 remembers the sideband last programmed for a band I wish that there was a simple SSB mode change command which could be used in macros rather than a specific USB or LSB command or does this command already exist already? I believe that when I wrote the macros a few years ago I confirmed that such a command it wasn't available. Thanks for a great radio. Next thing to do, after the dust settles, is to upgrade the sync boards used for the main and sub receivers. 73, Rich - K1HTV = = = Rich, Thanks for re-posting this info. Note that some of the commands embedded in your macros may not be needed since they are already remembered on a per-mode basis. For example, once you've selected CW REV on a given band, it will always be CW REV until you change it. There are other cases as well, left as an exercise for the the reader :) 73, Wayne N6KR On Mar 3, 2015, at 8:30 AM, Rich - K1HTV k1...@comcast.net wrote: Seeing the request for self modifying macros, I thought I'd re-post these how-to documents that I posted on this reflector a number of years ago.

Rich, I am not certain if it answers your question, but the ALT button switches between sidebands in SSB mode. It is available as SWH17; Or the mode can be set explicitly with the MD command. 73, Don W3FPR On 3/4/2015 7:40 AM, Rich - K1HTV wrote: Hi Wayne, Thanks for the 'CW REV' reminder.

Re: [Elecraft] How can I get more Programmable Macros? (feature request?)
I don't know who first came up with this clever idea but here is the concept and an example: The concept is this: * Program a macro, say MACRO 7, and assign it to a function key, say PF2, to perform the first of sequence of commands. End the macro definition by assigning PF2 to the next macro command sequence, say MACRO 8. * Program MACRO 8 to do the second sequence of commands and end it by assigning PF2 to perform MACRO 7. Here is how it would work to use PF2 to enter the Split mode using the dual-watch receiver with the first hold, and then to exit Split mode with the second hold of PF2. * Using the Utility, assign MACRO 7 to: SWT25;SWT25;FT0;SB1;UP7;MN110;SWT33;SWH26;MN255; The first five enter dual-watch and QSY VFO A up 5. The other commands assign MACRO 8 to PF2: MN110; Enter the MACRO x menu (equivalent to holding MENU and rotating VFO B to MACRO x). SWT33; Tap the 8 switch. SWH26; Hold PF2. (This assigns PF2 to the commands in MACRO 8.) MN255; Exit menu mode. Now, * Assign MACRO 8 to: SWT25;SWT25;FT0;SB0;MN110;SWT32;SWH26;MN255; SWT32; Tap the 7 switch. SWH26; Hold PF2. (This assigns PF2 to the commands stored in MACRO 7.) Send the macros to the K3 using the K3 utility and then enter the MACRO 7 menu and hold PF2 to assign it to enter Split mode. The next PF2 hold will take us out of Split. Subsequent holds toggle back and forth. Neato, eh?

Re: [Elecraft] How can I get more Programmable Macros? (feature request?)
I think you are confusing what I'm looking for. Yes I can program 10 buttons, but I'm looking for more thb 8 internal macros.If you go into the K3 menus you will find Function MACRO 1 - MACRO 8. When you use rotatable macros you can use a single button to have it rotate through macros. Example: Press PF1 and it switches WWV on 5 MHz Press PF1 Again and it switches to WWV on 10 Mhz Press PF1 Again and it switches to WWV on 15 Mhz Press PF1 Again and it switches to WWV on 20 Mhz Press PF1 Again and it switches to WWV on 25 Mhz Press PF1 Again and it switches Back to WWV on 5 Mhz ... and repeat From: Vic Rosenthal 4X6GP/K2VCO k2vco@gmail.com To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Tuesday, March 3, 2015 9:10 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] How can I get more Programmable Macros?

Re: [Elecraft] How can I get more Programmable Macros? (feature request?)
Seeing the request for self modifying macros, I thought I'd re-post these how-to documents that I posted on this reflector a number of years ago. Hopefully they will help you understand how to create your own macros which can be used to rotate between a series of parameter changes via a single PF1 or PF2 key press. Have fun playing with them, without as many headaches that I had in learning how to get them to work. 73, Rich - K1HTV For those of you who want to play more with macros, here are four that I use to set up my K3 for USB, CW, DATA-A and RTTY. Parameters that are set up include mode, receiver bandwidth, audio input connector (Front Panel for microphone, rear Line-In jack for DATA-A modes), Mic Gain and Compression level for SSB, CW Speed, VFO lock for DATA-A modes like PSK31, JT65 and WSPR. You can add or change other parameters in the macros for the various modes as you see fit. Macros are created using the K3 Utility program on a computer connected to the K3 via one of its COM ports. 16 Macros can be save in the K3 Utility but only the first 8 macros can be uploaded to the K3. The macros can be tested using the K3 Utlity in real time. Once they have been uploaded to the eight K3 internal macro memory locations, they can be assigned to various keys. Each can be assigned to any of the M1-4 (Tap) keys, or M1-4 (Hold), or the PF1 or PF2 (Hold) keys. ***NOTE*** In the case below, 7 macros are created using the K3 Utility program. The first 4 macros (associated with 4 different modes) are loaded into MACRO memory positions 1,2,3 4 and programmed into the PF1 key. The last 3 macros (associated with setting 3 different power levels) are loaded into MACRO memory positions 5, 6 7.

Re: [Elecraft] How can I get more Programmable Macros? (feature request?)
Rich, Thanks for re-posting this info. Note that some of the commands embedded in your macros may not be needed since they are already remembered on a per-mode basis. For example, once you've selected CW REV on a given band, it will always be CW REV until you change it. There are other cases as well, left as an exercise for the the reader :) 73, Wayne N6KR On Mar 3, 2015, at 8:30 AM, Rich - K1HTV k1...@comcast.net wrote: Seeing the request for self modifying macros, I thought I'd re-post these how-to documents that I posted on this reflector a number of years ago. Hopefully they will help you understand how to create your own macros which can be used to rotate between a series of parameter changes via a single PF1 or PF2 key press. Have fun playing with them, without as many headaches that I had in learning how to get them to work. 73, Rich - K1HTV For those of you who want to play more with macros, here are four that I use to set up my K3 for USB, CW, DATA-A and RTTY. Parameters that are set up include mode, receiver bandwidth, audio input connector (Front Panel for microphone, rear Line-In jack for DATA-A modes), Mic Gain and Compression level for SSB, CW Speed, VFO lock for DATA-A modes like PSK31, JT65 and WSPR. You can add or change other parameters in the macros for the various modes as you see fit. Macros are created using the K3 Utility program on a computer connected to the K3 via one of its COM ports. 16 Macros can be save in the K3 Utility but only the first 8 macros can be uploaded to the K3. The macros can be tested using the K3 Utlity in real time. Once they have been uploaded to the eight K3 internal macro memory locations, they can be assigned to various keys. Each can be assigned to any of the M1-4 (Tap) keys, or M1-4 (Hold), or the PF1 or PF2 (Hold) keys. ***NOTE*** In the case below, 7 macros are created using the K3 Utility program. The first 4 macros (associated with 4 different modes) are loaded into MACRO memory positions 1,2,3 4 and programmed into the PF1 key. The last 3 macros (associated with setting 3 different power levels) are loaded into MACRO memory positions 5, 6 7. After they are loaded, when you HOLD the PF1 key the K3 will toggle between the USB, CW, DATA-A and RTTY modes. The 7 character mnemonic assigned to that mode wil flash briefly on the LCD screen.

Harry, That is a great concept for making Macros. But, I think you can save 5 macro locations by using the * tag in your memories. What I have done is program memory #60-64 with the 60 meter frequencies. Then you tag each one with the *.

For example, Let's say I'd like to create a toggle with a single macro. I would like it to do this without having an external application controlling things. So, internal to the K3, a macro would perform one or more functions, then before exiting, would rewrite itself to unset what was just done. Using the sample macro from Table 2 in the Programmers Reference for AMP ON and let's just assign it to say, Macro 1 In pseudo-code, I'd like it to run: MN019;MP001;MN255;PC065;DB65;DB77;DB80;DB32;DB79;DB78 and then, before the macro finishes, I would like it to rewrite itself to: MN019;MP000;MN255;PC100;DB65;DB77;DB80;DB32;DB79;DB70;DB70 Each time Macro 1 is executed, it toggles the Logic 1 output and alters the power output and displays AMP ON (or AMP OFF).One button thus becomes a toggle. Press a button, the external amp is enabled, and the drive is lowered for it. Press it again, and the amp is disabled and drive is raised back. Seems like all I need is a macro command that allows a new macro string to be written, especially to the one running at the time :) You could also have one macro change other macros in this way.In effect, you would only be limited by your imagination and what you can get stored in 120 character pieces.

Re: [Elecraft] How can I get more Programmable Macros? (feature request?)
Hi Harry, There are actually 10 programmable function switches. There's also a way to use a single programmable switch to do a reversible operation by creating a self-modifying macro.
